Cornell Notes

It is expected that you take Cornell notes in all of your classes. A portion of your grade every grading cycle comes from your performance on taking and processing your notes from your core and elective classes. Whether you're watching a video, completing a lab, or listening to a lecture you can always take notes!

Please take a look at THE CORNELL WAY for detailed information on the expectations and standards of Cornell Notes for all AVID students.

AVID Tutorials

There are no 'late' Tutorial Request Forms at any point in the year. At the start of the year, your AVID teacher showed you the 20-week tutorial calendar and you were to update your agenda/planner accordingly. If you missed that opportunity, please update your agenda/planner from the calendar below. Any highlighted day is a tutorial day.
